Abstract

SI Cyclic process is one of the thermochemical hydrogen production processes using iodine and sulfur for producing hydrogen molecules from water. VHTR (Very High Temperature Reactor) can be used to supply heat to hydrogen production process, which is a high temperature nuclear reactor. IHX (Intermediate Heat Exchanger) is necessary to transfer heat to hydrogen production process safely without radioactivity. In this study, the strategy for the optimum design of IHX between SI hydrogen process and VHTR is proposed for various operating pressures of the reactor, and the different cooling fluids. Most economical efficiency of IHX is also proposed along with process conditions.

열화학적인 수소 생산 공정 중 하나인 S-I Cycle은 요오드와 황을 이용한 수소 생산 공정으로써 물 분자로부터 수소 분자를 얻어내는 순환 공정이다. 수소 생산 공정에 열을 공급하고자 하는 초고온 원자로(VHTR; Very High Temperature Reactor)는 원자로에서 수소 생산 공정으로 방사능 없이 안전하게 열을 전달하기 위하여 중간열교환기(IHX; Intermediate Heat Exchanger)가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수소 생산공정과 초고온 원자로간의 중간 열교환 공정을 모사하여 운전압력 및 작동 유체의 변화에 따른 중간 열교환기의 효율을 계산하고 가장 경제적인 중간 열교환기를 설계하기 위한 공정 조건을 도출하였다.
